Things we loved:
Slovenia. They were robbed! But we especially loved their point announcer and his special torch.Fearne Cotton looking like an mail-order Eastern European bride. Who did her makeup?Seeing Russ from Scooch necking champagne in a panic.Texts from our boss after every 3 songs Ireland deservedly coming last. Malta RANDOMLY giving UK 12 points. And me & Darren being snapped celebrating as the official UK celebrators! The cheering every time Finland got a point (why so low!) Spending a 1 1/2 hour boat trip with the head of the Swedish delegation and him claiming that The Ark's song was a bit rubbish. It was. Well done voting Europe. The idea that no non former Yugoslavian country is ever going to win again. Cyprus giving Greece 12 points. All the Nordic countries giving each other 12 points. The way that some countries either got 12 points or nothing. The voting was so random. Latvia surprising us all by doing terribly. Scooch giving the best performance they've ever done. The hilarious Dutch point giver calling Serbia "Kelly Osbourne".We're flying home in 4 hours. Yawn. Belgrade then next year? We've been and there are about 5 hotels, the cabbies cut the seatbelts out of all their cars and there is a LOT OF MEAT. Serbia is staying on our hotel and there is a crowd WOOPING outside.
Bring it on.
Meat? I'm not sure what that was all about.
